Troubleshooting

Check that the spindle bar is centered correctly and that all fixing screws are tightened firmly into the door material.
Knob does not rotate or latch correctly
Ensure the tubular latch (sold separately) is aligned perfectly with the spindle bar; misalignment often prevents smooth rotation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is designed to be user-friendly; ensure your door is solid and falls within the 30-45mm thickness range. You will need a screwdriver and a drill for the pilot holes. To install, align the backplates on either side of the door, insert the spindle bar through the (separately purchased) tubular latch, and secure with the provided screws. Regarding care, the silver finish is low-maintenance. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away fingerprints or dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the finish and expose the underlying material to potential corrosion.
